Chapter 21: Quiet Business District

If you look down at this eerie city surrounded by thick darkness from the sky, you will see that its original design prototype resembles a giant fan. At the intersection of the fan faces is the central square with the huge city fountain, and further on is the erected aristocratic quarter, and the final fan handle is the ghost castle of the Revenant Grand Duke Elust. Of course, the Ghost Castle looks like a giant Void Storm from a distance, and it may only appear when the entire Bubble World is destroyed.

Originally, Qiao Mai had ventured out into a small area near the supply points in the sprawling city. In the church area in the middle of the fan, he had only emptied the monsters near one church, and he had not even entered the more dense dozen or so shrines of unknown gods in the back. Several high-level players in the camp and their respective organizations have cleared out all the high-level monsters near the central square, and the remaining ordinary monsters have also been cleaned up by all the players who come in and out every day. Now this small area is blank.

To the right of the city fan is a large slum and civilian settlement, which is densely populated by low-level walking corpses of level 1 to 2. Jomai, who first entered the game, was in a small street at the very edge of the slum, in the middle of the night when the monsters were extra dense, and he hadn't even met a single player for hours. The panicked newcomers would even hide in a room for days until they ran out of Destiny Copper Coins and had to come out and fight the monsters.

The system supply point shows that the game world has entered and survived more than 1000 players, most of the newcomer players who have only entered this world can survive until now, and basically can pick up arms and fight monsters, but basically the level is still at level 1~3, they still stay in the huge slums to risk upgrading, and they will avoid every high-level player with bad intentions who are extremely uneasy.

Except for a few newcomers who find a few small supply points, most of them will be found by Lotie and Tiger's subordinates and coaxed to the underground supply space. This huge number of newcomers is the best existence for them to exploit and exploit the Mandate of Heaven's copper coins. Fabricating a system of companions, they intimidate most of the newcomers into having to pay their own small copper coins for safety, and the newcomers who are less lucky and have extra gains will be plundered and robbed by their own disguised backedgs as they wander outside. The large number of newcomers provides the predators with enough money to consume enough resources, food and medicine to challenge more powerful monsters in the system's exchange office. For example, the champion boss.

More than 600 newcomers were removed. Nearly 150 people from several major organizations with a level of 6 and above, with a level 9 high game, are entrenched near the underground system space, close enough to the supply point. Not only do there are enough elites and warriors in the huge church area for them to venture out and upgrade, but the treasure chests in the depths of the church are a scarce treasure that occupies the best resources. Clearing the place would also prepare them for an attack on the last noble quarter. According to the system, there are 3 champion bosses in this world that will appear on the seventh day, and they all believe that they will appear in the richest aristocratic district.

The leftmost area of the remaining city fan is the most chaotic dockland and business district in the entire city. There are many types of monsters roaming here, and there are quite a few elite and warrior monsters. Stripped of the basic walking corpses and skeletons, there are also ghouls, grueheads and other terrifying undead roaming the area. More than 300 veteran players and strong enough newcomers roam this most complex area.

In order to avoid the supply points monopolized by several major organizations and a few terrifying level 9 high-level games, veteran players who have also experienced the plural game world are either walking alone, or in pairs and threes, and even some small organizations that have been formed are wandering in this chaotic area. Players here are out of the mere rookie state, and they can fight other players for a treasure chest or an elite monster. Even battles that broke out because of the desire to make money happened from time to time.

Qiao Mai killed several ninjas because of the previous battle with the ninjas, and there was no way to kill the poisonous wolf later, so he had to take the boy to rush out of the church area just now, and came to the chaotic business district. He was beaten by a poisonous wolf and looked for teeth all over the ground, but he didn't have the calmness he had before. The two who decided to keep a low profile entered this seemingly calm business district.

The neighborhood is a jumble of shabby streets, wide and narrow, that can't compare to the smooth stone pavements of the church district. There were hardly any monsters in the streets, except for the occasional strange noise in the alleys deep. It seems that the monsters on the street have been cleaned up by the players in front of them, Qiao Mai thought silently. Although the surrounding buildings do not have the heavy atmosphere of the church district, the more diverse architecture makes it look more like a normal city. Large and small shops and commercial centers are stacked together, faintly revealing the prosperity and glory of this place. The huge bell tower where Qiao Mai first saw the light of the fire and several strange huge buildings also stood here. Something looks wrong here, it's a little weird to be quiet, where have all the people gone?

Randomly chose a blacksmith shop, Qiao Mai took Ning Chong and walked in. The appearance of the starving ghost is really a bit weird and exaggerated, and Qiao Mai, who decided to keep a low profile, withdrew them all into his shadow. And it's really not too good as a hole card or something, as soon as I think of those ill-intentioned players surrounding the two of them, only to find that several powerful monsters appeared around them in a panic, Qiao Mai was overjoyed. Qiao Mai, who was almost killed by the poisonous wolf, decided to let the starving ghost bite people as long as the situation was not right, forgetting that he had any ability, this kind of stupid thing could not happen again, and maybe he would not be so lucky next time.

The fire sword in his hand spread out a chain of fire more than a meter long, and the young man rushed to the light of the dancer's firelight to illuminate several dark rooms. There was silence in the empty room, and in some places traces of the battle could be faintly seen. With a powerful weapon in hand, he is much bolder, Qiao Mai used to explore everything, and he only had a head left every time he hid.

"Big brother, this place has been scraped. There's nothing left..."

Ning Chong took out an empty box from the innermost room, the fluorescent box was out of step with everything around him.

"Forget it, let's go. Go find someone else and figure out what's going on here... Those weird ninjas and the big bunch of bastards in the camp shouldn't be here, there must be someone here, and there should be a lot of them..."

The two of them went out of the empty blacksmith shop and checked the shops next to them, and sure enough, they were all empty. Forced to do so, Qiao Mai led the boy and walked towards the huge bell tower, which was already approaching the center of the entire business district.

After walking almost fifty meters, sparse monsters finally began to appear on the street. Seeing the familiar skeleton shelf, Qiao Mai burst into tears. Since leaving the church area, there are basically no monsters roaming, and now it's been almost 1 hour and finally there are monsters. Seeing the skeleton boy rushing from a distance, he rushed forward with a fire sword, and now Qiao Mai not only has no experience in killing these ordinary monsters, but he doesn't even lose money. The long sword with fire +2 in Ning Chong's hand can cause huge damage to skeletons, and it seems that his spring is coming soon.

In less than half a minute, the young man Chong swung the fire sword and burned the three skeletons into ashes, watching the muscles on his body squirm, and he seemed to have grown a little taller, almost 1.8 meters. Qiao Mai understood that he was already level 6. It has stepped into the ranks of veteran players.

"Boom..."

Qiao Mai, who had just wanted to congratulate him, heard a large flame rush out of the door of a shop not far in front of him, and then several figures rushed out. The first is a teenager who is estimated to be much younger than Ning Chong, and his height is estimated to be less than 1.5 meters. I saw that he kept throwing out a few scrolls in his hand, turning into ice arrows and shooting towards the few figures chasing out. Seeing that several guys on the other side were getting around, he pulled out a pistol that looked about the size of his head and shot one of them in the head.

"Grass, monkey... Big brother, he killed the monkey, MD, the little bunny... Labor and management will kill you..."

A little brother wearing a yellow dog mask watched the little rabbit cub who made him gnash his teeth and turned around and ran away after killing one of his companions, so depressed that he was about to vomit blood. This is already the third one, and this little cub has launched more than a dozen sneak attacks on his group in the past three days. Either he threw a bomb while he was resting, or he suddenly rushed out with his huge pistol and shot a teammate in the head while fighting the elite monster. For example, just now, seven or eight of them were fighting with an elite walking corpse that they had finally found, and this little cub jumped out and threw a bomb at his boss, and the boss was seriously injured by the elite monster in a trance. Now the battle in the house is chaotic.

Moreover, he killed himself and the others 3 companions, and every time he pinched just when he and the others couldn't go all out to arrest him. The young man in front of him looked defiantly at several guys with different animal masks in front of him, and the ridiculous and contemptuous eyes on his cold face made Yellow Dog want to vomit blood.

"MD, Yellow Dog leave him alone and leave a janitor. Let's take out this monster first, grass... I'm going to have to skin this monster after beating him, little bastard..."

The four embarrassed figures in the room were constantly wrestling with an unusually agile emaciated walking corpse, whose huge, glowing claws swept over a player's body from time to time with afterimages. A few people who brought up a huge stream of blood screamed. A tall man in a grizzly bear mask swept away the walking corpse again with a mace, and yelled at the two people outside.

Seeing the little cub on the opposite side slowly retreat, the two yellow dogs hurriedly rushed into the house, and if they didn't go in, they would die. The little bunny is finished fighting the monster and is settled
